Just Like That Release am 29.10.21

Martin Gerke von Groenalund sagt: "Wir schreiben vor allem eigene Songs, aber um dem großen Vorbild ABBA Respekt zu zollen, wollten wir eine Coverversionen machen.“

In einer Umfrage bei den Groenalund-Fans auf der Band-Homepage wurde gefragt, welcher ABBA-Song gecovert werden soll. Das Ergebnis war eindeutig: die überwiegende Mehrheit wollte, dass Groenalund Just Like That neu aufnimmt.

Dieser Song ist eine Art verlorener Gral, ein Kultsong, der die Phantasien der eingeschworenen Abba-Fan-Gemeinde seit den 80ern anstachelt. Er wurde in der letzten Phase vor der langen Pause 1982 geschrieben, teilweise aufgenommen, aber nie ganz veröffentlicht. Die Urheber Benny Andersson und Björn Ulvaeus waren irgendwie nicht ganz überzeugt von diesem Song, was viele Fans bis heute nicht nachvollziehen können.

Die einzige Veröffentlichung im Zusammenhang mit ABBA war ein Teilstück des Refrains für das Medley aus Studiomitschnitten, "Abba undeleted“, das Michael B. Tretow 1994 für die Compilation „Tank You For The Music“ zusammengestellt hatte.
Benny Andersson und Björn Ulvaeus passten das Stück mit neukomponierten Strophen Mitte der 80er nochmal an den damaligen Sound mit der Gruppe Gemini an, die aber nur in Schweden populär war. Diese Version ist aber bei den meisten Abba-Fans eher verpönt.

Anhand von verrauschten und unterschiedlich arrangierten Bootlegs vom Original, die im Netz kursieren, hat Martin Gerke von Groenalund eine Version rekonstruiert, die auf das damals anvisierte zehnte Studioalbum von ABBA hätte passen können. So originalgetreu wie möglich, mit den ursprünglichen, von Agnetha Fältskog gesungenen Strophen.
Just like that ist die erste Single von Groenalund, in der Sarah Schumacher die Leadvocals übernimmt und sie vertritt Agnetha Fältskog dabei überzeugend.
Im harmonisch reichhaltigen Refrain steigen dann Karolin Biewald und Mabel Winkler mit ihren Stimmen ein und erwecken den vollen Abba-Sound zu neuem Leben.

Für die Instrumental-Aufnahmen sind wieder Musiker aus der Kölner Szene ins Studio gekommen: Chris Frank an den Drums, Alex Linster am Bass, H.C. Petzoldt am Rhodes Piano und Florian Zenker an der Gitarre. Die Synthesizer, das Arrangement und die Produktion hat Martin Gerke übernommen.
Martin Gerke von Groenalund versteht nach Fertigstellung der Aufnahme immer noch nicht so recht, warum Benny und Björn ein Problem mit diesem Song hatten. Er und die anderen Mitglieder von Groenalund finden ihn perfekt und es hat ihnen grosse Freude bereitet ihn aufzunehmen. Sie sind sich sicher, dass der Song Ihnen dabei helfen wird neue Fans zu finden.

Martin Gerke from Groenalund: "We mainly write our own songs, but to pay respect to the role model ABBA, we wanted to make a cover version. In a survey of our fans on our homepage, we asked which ABBA song to cover. The result was clear: the vast majority wanted us to record Just Like That." The only release related to ABBA was a section of the chorus for the medley of studio recordings, "Abba undeleted", which Michael B. Tretow had put together in 1994 for the compilation "Tank You For The Music". Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus adapted the piece with newly composed verses in the mid-80s again to the sound of that time with the group Gemini, which was only popular in Sweden. However, this version is rather unpopular by most Abba fans.

On the basis of noisy and differently arranged bootlegs from the original, which are circulating on the net, Martin Gerke von Groenalund has reconstructed a version that could have fit on ABBA’s tenth studio album envisaged at the time. As faithful as possible, with the original verses sung by Agnetha Fältskog. Just like that is Groenalund’s first single in which Sarah Schumacher takes over the lead vocals and she represents Agnetha Fältskog convincingly. In the harmoniously rich chorus, Karolin Biewald and Mabel Winkler enter with their voices and bring the full Abba sound back to life.

Musicians from the Cologne scene have once again come to the studio for the recordings:
Chris Frank on drums,
Alex Linster on bass,
H.C. Petzoldt on Rhodes piano
and Florian Zenker on guitar.
The synthesizers, the arrangement and the production were done by Martin Gerke.

Martin Gerke from Groenalund still doesn’t really understand why Benny and Björn had a problem with this song after completing the recording. He and the other members of Groenalund consider it as a perfect Pop-tune and they had great pleasure while recording it. They are sure that the song will help them to find an audience.
